Canopy temperature depression for droughtand heat stress tolerance in wheat breeding by S. B. Lepekhov

“…These QTLs often explain a small part of phenotypic variance (10–20 %, more likely less than 10 %), which complicates the pyramiding of canopy temperature genes through marker-assisted selection. The paper concludes that the evaluation of CTD appears to be a reliable, relatively simple, labor-saving, objective, and non-invasive method that sets it apart from other methods as well as shows the best results under terminal drought and heat stress conditions.…”

Whole Genome Sequencing Reveals Genetic Differences Between Symbiodiniaceae Populations Among Reproductively and Geographically Isolated Acropora Colonies in Western Australia by Sanna Y. Eriksson, Mikhail V. Matz, Peter D. Vize, Natalie L. Rosser

“…The conventional method of measuring Symbiodiniaceae diversity involving the ITS2 region of rDNA has several limitations, stemming from insufficient genetic resolution and the multi‐copy nature of the marker. This could be improved by using higher throughput whole genome sequencing to identify fine‐scale population genetic differences and provide new insight into factors influencing coral‐Symbiodiniaceae associations. …”
